train_punctuality_elt: ELT pipeline for Finnish train punctuality
- Extracts every train run in Finland from the Digitraffic open API each day, lands the raw JSON, loads it into DuckDB and models punctuality marts in dbt.
- Incremental fact tables, idempotent partition loads, 45 dbt data tests, a dbt unit test and an end-to-end test on recorded API data.
- Runs every morning in GitHub Actions and publishes a punctuality report (about 1,800 train runs and 71,000 timetable rows per day).
- Python · SQL · DuckDB · dbt · GitHub Actions · Parquet
log_analyzer: Python CLI for OpenSSH authentication logs
- Parses
sshdlogin events and flags any IP with N failed logins inside a sliding time window. The rule is set in YAML (default: 5 failures in 10 minutes). - Writes a Markdown report with suggested
nftables/iptablesblock rules. Nothing is executed automatically. - pandas · pytest unit tests · ruff lint · GitHub Actions CI on every push
security_analyst_training: SOC lab cases, written up as analyst reports
- Phishing IOC analysis (LetsDefend SOC282): detonated the attachment in ANY.RUN, checked hashes and domains in VirusTotal, extracted hashes, IPs and domains for blocking.
- Phishing incident report (LetsDefend SOC146) and an incident response playbook.
- Spam text classifier: TF-IDF features; compared logistic regression, naive Bayes, SVM and a decision tree on the SMS Spam Collection (5,572 messages). Naive Bayes reached 97.3% accuracy.
- Notes on MITRE ATT&CK, networking and Linux.
Not on GitHub
- Online Garage Searching System (Flutter, Firebase): finds the three nearest garages for the user's location and vehicle problem, using GPS, Google Maps and the Haversine formula.
- Regulated DC power supply (IOE electronics lab): bridge rectifier, capacitor filter and Zener regulator. Verified output voltage, load regulation and ripple with an oscilloscope and multimeter; troubleshot faults stage by stage.
Machine-learning-based test case prioritization for continuous integration.
